This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the beneficial applications of turmeric in improving health and egg production in layers.

An overview on mRNA-based vaccines to prevent monkeypox infection.

The human monkeypox virus (Mpox) is classified as a member of the Poxviridae family and belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus. Mpox possesses double-stranded DNA, and there are two known genetic clades: those originating in West Africa and the Congo Basin, commonly known as Central African clades. Mpox may be treated with either the vaccinia vaccination or the therapeutics.

Don't eat me/eat me signals as a novel strategy in cancer immunotherapy.

Cancer stands as one of the prominent global causes of death, with its incidence burden continuously increasing, leading to a substantial rise in mortality rates. Cancer treatment has seen the development of various strategies, each carrying its drawbacks that can negatively impact the quality of life for cancer patients. The challenge remains significant within the medical field to establish a definitive cancer treatment that minimizes complications and limitations.

The effectiveness of treatment with probiotics in eradication: results from an umbrella meta-analysis on meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials.

: The purpose of this umbrella meta-analysis was to quantitatively summarize meta-analyses of randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies regarding the effects of probiotic supplementation on () eradication. : A thorough search of the electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar was carried out from the inception up to May 2022. For the evaluation of overall effect sizes, the pooled relative risk (RR) or odds ratio (OR) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

Hypoxia-circular RNA crosstalk to promote breast cancer.

The expression of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), particularly HIF-1, plays a major role in the adaptation of solid tumors to hypoxic conditions. The activation of the HIF pathway results in an expression of genes involved in the promotion of cell growth, proliferation, vascularization, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Circular RNA (CircRNA) is considered as a major regulator of gene expression.

Polyphenols and inflammatory bowel disease: Natural products with therapeutic effects?

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a long-life disease with periods of recurrence and relief. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Recent years' studies in the field of IBD treatment mostly have focused on targeting cytokines and immune cell trafficking using antibodies and inhibitors, altering the composition of intestinal bacteria in the line of attenuation of inflammation using probiotics and prebiotics, and attenuating oxidative stress through antioxidant supplementation.

Anti-cancer peptide-based therapeutic strategies in solid tumors.

Background: Nowadays, conventional medical treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy cannot cure all types of cancer. A promising approach to treat solid tumors is the use of tumor-targeting peptides to deliver drugs or active agents selectively.

Result: Introducing beneficial therapeutic approaches, such as therapeutic peptides and their varied methods of action against tumor cells, can aid researchers in the discovery of novel peptides for cancer treatment.

Thymol and carvacrol supplementation in poultry health and performance.

Background: Thymol and carvacrol as natural essential oils and phenol compounds are components derived from some medicinal plants, such as thyme and oregano species.

Objectives: The increasing demands in organic and healthy meat and egg consumption in human society have made it necessary to consider alternative natural compounds for the replacement of chemical compounds in poultry production. The chemical compounds can remain in meat and eggs and cause complications in human health.

The advantages and synergistic effects of Gunnera (Gundelia tournefortii L.) extract and protexin in chicken production.

Background: Probiotics and phytogenics in the poultry diet have many positive effects on productivity. The combination of these feed additives has not been studied.

Objective: This study was designed for evaluation of synergistic effects of protexin (P) and Gunnera (Gundelia tournefortii L.

Reduction in Acrylamide Formation in Potato Crisps: Application of Extract and Hydrocolloid-Based Coatings.

Abstract: Two different potato chip coatings-aqueous extracts including Zataria multiflora and Allium hirtifolium at concentrations of 1, 3, 5, and 7% and hydrocolloids individually or in combination-were used to decrease acrylamide content, and their effects on the characteristics of the product were then investigated. According to the results, the incorporation of hydrocolloids as the coating was more efficient in the reduction of acrylamide production than with the extracts. Also, the application of each extract and hydrocolloids individually can be considered a more efficient technique for acrylamide reduction than their mixture.

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as an efficient and sensitive method for determining of acrylamide in potato chips samples.

In this research, for the first time, we successfully developed ultrasonic-assisted extraction and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as a new, fast and highly sensitive method for determining of acrylamide in potato chips samples. Xanthydrol was used as a derivatization reagent and parameters affecting in the derivatization and microextraction steps were studied and optimized. Under optimum conditions, the calibration curves showed high levels of linearity (R>0.
